Instructors:
Pro: Liz Howard and Tyler Bettilyon are phenomenal instructors and people. Both of them are inredibly techinically proficient, friendly, inviting, and helpful. Liz in particular became a personal mentor to me throughout the program, making herself readily available for 1-on-1's with me where we'd talk about coding, navigating the tech scene, or my goals. Matt Williams, who joined our course halfway down the line, was also a great instructor who brought a lot to the table ...
Instructors:
Pro: Liz Howard and Tyler Bettilyon are phenomenal instructors and people. Both of them are inredibly techinically proficient, friendly, inviting, and helpful. Liz in particular became a personal mentor to me throughout the program, making herself readily available for 1-on-1's with me where we'd talk about coding, navigating the tech scene, or my goals. Matt Williams, who joined our course halfway down the line, was also a great instructor who brought a lot to the table and was just as friendly.
Con: We had a total of 3 associate instructors leave in the middle of the course. While they were not aa crucial, it definitely felt weird. Also, I would have liked more accountability regarding finishing assignments. More often than not, assignments were given and eventaully reviewed but not followed up on whether or not we actually completed them.
Curriculum:
Good: People have gone to great lengths about thisThey actively look at what they should/shouldn't be teaching and update it accordingly.
Con: Since they are always looking at ways to refine it, it is easy to feel short handed if the next cohort gets something added to the curriculum that you feel would have been beneficial for you to learn.
Job assistance:
Pro: Amazing. Michelle is a champ. She took the time to get to know me and what my strengths were and referred me to partner companies with positions I was a good fit for. I work at a company she referred me to and absolutely love it.
Con: Hiring day was a bust. I feel like a lot of the companies didn't know what they were coming to, some companies were there looking for android developers...? Not one person got hired or even interviewed by a company that came to our hiring day.
With all that being saidt, though I had some criticism to offer, the program was an incredible experience and two months after graduation am now employed as a developer in a company that I love working at. Deciding to apply to and attend Galvanize is arguably the most important decision I've made in my twenties. A potential issue I see in the future of Galvanize will be ensuring the quality of its instruction through out all of its campuses, which is now nearing ten total. Be sure to ask plenty of questions and even ask to meet with your areas instructors to talk bout the program. Best of luck!!!
